IN-CLINIC FITNESS & BODYWORK SESSIONS: At Grit City Health, every session is designed to meet you where you are. Whether you’re training hard, staying active for health, or simply looking to move through life with less pain and more ease, your session will integrate what best supports you that day.
Each appointment may blend movement assessment, functional bodywork, and therapeutic massage techniques to address your specific concerns while promoting overall mobility, strength, and recovery. Sessions often start with a brief check-in and assessment to focus your time where it’s needed or wanted most.
New clients begin with an 80-minute Intake Session. It is a chance to get to know you, understand your goals and movement patterns, and introduce you to the GCH approach. Follow-up sessions are available in a variety of lengths (25, 50, 80, or 110 minutes) so you can choose what fits your needs and schedule. All sessions are priced by length, making it easy to book what works best for you.

HEALTH & PERFORMANCE COACHING: Achieve your goals with personalized coaching that meets you where you are. Whether you’re focused on general health, sustainable fitness, or endurance performance, Grit City Health offers a supportive and flexible approach to help you grow and succeed.
As the “Self-Coached Athlete’s Coach,” my goal is to keep you in control of your journey. Together, we’ll set realistic goals, build effective strategies, and navigate challenges with confidence. I’m here to guide, motivate, and provide the tools you need—whether you’re building healthy habits, enhancing fitness, or preparing for your next big event.
Not sure if you’re an athlete? Let’s reframe that. If you exercise regularly—even when it’s challenging—and seek to improve your skills, performance, or enjoyment in your activities, you’re already an athlete. With an athlete’s mindset, you can make sustainable progress, balance rest and relationships, and avoid burnout while keeping the joy in what you love to do.
